I too, want to offer a big THANK YOU to both Mike and Peter for creating this unique worldwide online community that often feels so small and so comfortable that after time you begin to feel that many are your closest friends---and meeting them in person is like connecting with a long-lost family member! The experience is like no other! I joined in 1995 when I started my Master's degree---a "requirement" that I found myself monitoring for two semesters because of the coursework that made LM_NET a mainstay for those who were entering a new era of librarianship coupled with technology. After a year of practicing the art of listservs, I was hooked. LM_NET was the ONLY mentor, guide, and voice of reason for me as a "single person library" librarian for the next five years. Like Doug Johnson mentioned in his blog, I too have met some of my "best virtual friends" through this list...people that I would never have known otherwise. The guidance, care, and genuine friendship that this list has provided to thousands of us may never be known to those outside of the community, but I know that LM_NET has definitely made its mark in the "history of librarianship"....and it is a great honor and privilege to have known those who created this community and those who have guided each of us during these past 15 years. Your impact will be felt for years to come! We are better librarians because of the work you have done and we are much more humble when we reflect on the impact of your contributions to our profession! ~Shonda -- Shonda Brisco, MLIS District Librarian Peaster ISD Weatherford, TX 76086 Digital Bookends wiki / blog: http://digitalbookends.pbwiki.com http://shonda.edublogs.org/ sbrisco@gmail.com Resources for Texas School Librarians: http://txschoollibrarians.ning.com/ http://txschoollibrarians.wikispaces.com/ "Digital Resources" columnist School Library Journal -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
